Ensign EEZIFIT
The Ensign cast-iron drainage system has already answered ‘The Burning Question’ with its superior fire resistance. It silenced the opposition with its ‘Hearing is Believing’ campaign, proving to be the quietest system on the market.
Now there’s Ensign EEZI-FIT, a new pushfit range of socketed fittings and coupling in 100 and 150mm diameters, designed for above ground gravity sanitary applications, that combines all the benefits of cast-iron with the simplicity of push-fit assembly.
Saint-Gobain PAM carried out a study comparing installation times of its new EEZI-FIT system to HDPE fusion weld and stainless steel at the BRE. The study showed EEZI-FIT was significantly quicker than HDPE fusion weld and as quick as stainless push-fit system. Visit www.eezi-compare.com for more details.
Features
- A range of 100 and now 150mm diameter push-fit fittings and couplings.
- New gasket design that makes the joint simple, quick to installand completed in seconds.
- New multi-waste radius branches with up to four boss connections available either plain or with rear access door.
- New 100mm manifold connector with extended spigot length.
- The range connects to standard Ensign double spigot pipe and is fully compatible with all Ensign double spigot fittings.
- Red epoxy coated.
- Kitemark approved to BS EN 877:1999 for gravity soil installations (0.5 bar performance).
- 100mm coupling has been tested to 2 bar pressure suitably restrained – better than any push-fit gravity system on the market.
- Electrical continuity can be accommodated using clips supplied in bags of 30 (2xclips per joint)
Benefits
- All the benefits of cast-iron – with the advantages of push-fit assembly.
- The natural non-combustibility of cast-iron – providing superior fire resistance and no additional protection required – giving further labour saving opportunities.
- Ensign and Ensign EEZI-FIT, when installed with the ductile iron bracket fitted with the new acoustic dampener, are the quietest cast-iron systems and the quietest material by up to 10dB(A) over any other system.
- The Ensign mechanical joint can be positioned in the system to allow dismantling for future retro-fit.
The new manifold design eliminates having a joint in the floor slab for further ease of installation.
Presents opportunities to reduce time for testing the installation. - Cast-iron as a drainage material requires fewer brackets than other systems like HDPE, Stainless Steel and UPVC (see BS EN 12056 guidelines Table NF.1).
No specialist tools required. - Ideal solution for flats and apartments, hotels and any gravity soil system which demand a high level of acoustic performance and fire safety.
EEZI-FIT – the next generation of cast iron systems.
A quick to install push-fit range of socketed fittings and couplings compatible with all products within the Ensign range – improving even further the most versatile above ground system on the market.
